Key Points
Dr. Yong would like to create a model of at least 430 people communicating heartistically with each other on the Morning Devotion Zoom call. Up to 1000 or more people watch on other media during Morning Devotion or throughout the day.
As people come to understand the value and quality of precious blessed families, millions will seek the Blessing. In this way God can restore the families that Satan destroyed.
We should always convey the Blessing to those around us to restore the destroyed families and build an ideal world.
The Blessing is the greatest gift God gives to humankind through the Messiah in God's 6,000-year history of the providence.
The Blessing removes the original sin and is a perfect forgiveness ceremony through which we are born anew and receive salvation. It is the change of the false blood lineage, love and life to true life, love and lineage.
Through the Blessing we graduate from the top of the growth stage and enter the completion stage, the world of the realm of heart or Kingdom of Heaven.
The Blessing is the best gift and fortune from heaven that allows us to become a true child and enter the school of couple love, enter the direct dominion and start perfecting the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships.
Through the Blessing we qualify to become the second creator, achieve perfection of the family and of dominion, and contribute to the perfection of other people and even of God.
The Blessing is the unity of heaven and earth through marriage centered on absolute sex and multiplication of our physical children and spiritual Heavenly Tribal Messiahship tribe in order to establish the Kingdom of Heaven.
We need to be blessed on 3 levels: church, nation and world.
Through Jesus’ spiritual salvation humankind was able to reach the level of adopted son, but True Parents paid the indemnity for us to become true sons and ascend the 8 stages from servant of servant to the level of God.
Because of their profound love for God and others, Jesus and True Father spoke with absolute spiritual authority and could discern people’s innermost heart. With such love, we too can develop such a sensitive heart, be able to distinguish between good and evil and have premonitions in everything..
We can cultivate spiritual sensitivity through prayer and sincere devotion, having a singled-minded sense of purpose, always looking forward to heaven’s guidance, seeking to become one with God, caring about the whole, and loving everyone, including enemies.
Heaven will guide a person who has a close-knit relationship with God, seeks to be righteous, avoids greed and being controlled by the environment, lives for others and knows his place in relationships.
Everyone is made to live in four-position foundation relationships and to live for the sake of others.
We should live according to the will and blueprint of God.
Asking Heaven through prayer and jeongseong should become a habit.
No matter how much I explain it to you, you do not know the real meaning of the Blessing. When you die, you will get to know its real meaning.

(Response to sharing) Those who are alive spiritually always try to witness, try to bring people to the church. We can say that you are really being alive.♦
Now our Morning Devotion dawn culture is becoming our beautiful culture now. Many are joining through the familyfed.org website, Facebook and YouTube. But I am trying to make a model of 430 people who join live (on Zoom). I really want to set up this tribal model. During the day many more watch Morning Devotion, even 1000 people, but I would really like to create this model: everybody heartistically communicating with each other. This is one of my wishes.
Today I’d like to talk about “God, Women and World Peace” from True Mother’s Anthology, Book 2.
<This was an invitational address delivered on September 7, 1993 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York> There are countless other testimonies to the power of the Divine Principle to give hope and new life to young people. Last year, in Korea, we held a wedding celebration for 30,000 couples, all dedicating their lives to one another, to God and to the world. In most families today, parents cannot effectively guide their children, especially in such intimate matters as love and marriage. Yet, my husband and I brought together young people from 131 nations and realized their most cherished dreams of love in a historic way. This was indeed a great miracle of the modern world. In the future, as people come to understand the value and quality of these precious families, millions will seek such marriages. Through them, God can restore the family that Satan destroyed. Such restored, God-centered families are the very building blocks of an ideal nation and world.
My dear friends, when Jesus taught about the coming of the Messiah, he told the parable of the virgins who were awaiting the arrival of the bridegroom. This signifies the restoration of the original positions of man and woman, restored Adam and Eve, to the realm of true equality. When Christianity failed to meet her bridegroom the first time, God's dispensation had to be delayed by forty years until 1992. At this turning point in the history of restoration, a woman in the position of True Mother has to prepare the world to receive the True Father. That is why, in April 1992, my husband and I founded the Women's Federation for World Peace. Last year, with the heart of a True Mother, I visited Korea, Great Britain, the United States, France, Japan, Germany and Italy, as well as Russia, China and Oceania.
There are countless testimonies to the power of the Divine Principle to give hope and new life to young people.
In 1992, in Korea, we held a wedding celebration for 30,000 couples, all dedicating their lives to one another, to God and to the world. That event was a great miracle of the modern world. Father said this 30,000 couple (Blessing) was a turning point. Our wedding celebration reached a cosmic level. He was so happy about this Blessing!
In the future, as people come to understand the value and quality of these precious families, millions will seek such blessed marriages. Through them, God can restore the families that Satan destroyed.
We, who have been blessed by True Parents, must realize the tremendous meaning of the blessing and always convey the blessing to those around us to restore the destroyed family and build an ideal world.
How much do you know the meaning of blessings and how hard are you trying to convey them to those around you? The Blessing is the greatest gift that God gives to humankind through the Messiah in God's 6,000-year history of the providence.
I would like to remind of the meaning of the Blessing. Let’s read Father’s word.
The Greatest Gift in Human History is the Blessing
I consider the Blessing to have been the most precious gift in my life. For you also, the greatest gift in human history is the Blessing. Those who have received God's Blessing represent God. Therefore when you receive the Blessing, you must start a family and bring Satan to his knees. You have to bring Satan to judgment. After that, you need to actualize the four-position foundation and become a victorious person with dominion over the creation. (23-317, 1969.06.08)
I would like to remind you again what the Blessing is.
My Ministry is the Ministry of Blessing
A. Then, what is the Blessing?
1. Blessing is to remove the original sin.
2. Blessing is a perfect forgiveness ceremony.
If you commit sin before the Blessing, it is completely forgiven. Father said when you go to the spiritual world, God, Father and even Satan have no qualification to ask about your sin (from) before the Blessing. This is incredible! When you receive the Blessing, God will not ask about what happened before (the Blessing.) The Blessing is incredible, perfect forgiveness. Your sin becomes zero. You have a completely new life.
The problem is after the Blessing if you commit sin and have some problem, you have to be responsible for it. You need to pay indemnity.
3. Blessing is the ceremony of being born anew.
4. Blessing is the ceremony of salvation.
5. Blessing is the change of the blood lineage.
You become God’s royal blood lineage.
> Born again from false lineage, love and life, to true life, true love, and true lineage.
6. Blessing is the ceremony of graduating from the top of the growth stage and entering the completion stage.
7. Blessing is the beginning of Kingdom of Heaven.
8. Blessing is the process of entering into the world of the realm of heart.
9. Blessing is the best gift and the best fortune that God and True Parents have given to humans.
10. Blessing goes beyond the realms of adopted son and becomes a true child through the blessing of heaven.
When you believe in God and Jesus, you can get spiritual salvation. Your spiritual level can go (up) to a maximum of the adopted son (level). It cannot be (that of the) real son. (Becoming) the real son means a change of blood lineage. (The lineage of the) adopted son means not a real blood lineage. It is still Satan’s blood lineage. This is the difference. Between adopted son and the real son, the blood lineage is different. If you believe in Jesus, you can get salvation to a maximum level of adopted son. However, anyone who receives the Blessing completely changes his blood lineage from that of Satan to that of God. He receives the blood lineage of God’s royal family.
11. Blessing is the course of graduating from the individual course and entering the school of love for the couple.
12. Blessing is the process of converting from the realm of indirect dominion to the realm of direct dominion.
When you receive the Blessing, you enter the realm of God’s direct dominion. Wow! Father said anyone who receives the Blessing, no matter how much sin he has committed, will never go to hell. He starts from the beginning stage of (the) completion (level).
13. Blessing is the start for perfecting the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships.
14. Blessing is a place that gives qualifications as the second creator who can subdue all things.
You become the owner of all things.
15. The purpose of Blessing is self and family perfection and to be the master of the universe.
16. Blessing is the course that starts to perfect the other person.
The Blessing begins centering on the couple, not the individual. The Blessing is centering on the pair system. You cannot be saved alone. The Blessing begins centering on the couple.
17. Blessing is the course to perfecting God.
18. Blessing is the unity of heaven and earth through marriage between a man and a woman centered on absolute sex.
19. Blessing is multiplication. Through the Blessing of my family, I need to go to the stage of achieving the realm of the royal family.
Why did Heavenly Father choose us as a chosen person? To let us multiply. One of the great attribute of the Blessing is multiplication. Why did God bless us? Why did God call us first? What is the main reason? To let us multiply. That’s why if a Blessed couple does not multiply, the Blessing becomes stagnant, spoiled. When you multiply the Blessing, it becomes greater and greater. The main purpose of the Blessed couple is what? How to multiply the Blessing.
> Therefore, everyone should do Heavenly Tribal Messiah.
We need to multiply the Blessing through the mission of Heavenly Tribal Messiahship.
> Everyone should registered at the CheonBo Won.
20. The ultimate purpose of Blessing is to establish the kingdom of Heaven.
Everyone should receive the Blessing and then multiply it to the tribal level. If everybody fulfills his job, then automatically we can establish God’s substantial nation.
B. All blessed families should go to the three levels of the Blessing.
> Church Blessing, National Blessing, World Blessing
Without restoring a nation substantially, we have not received the national Blessing. We have not yet received the national and the world Blessings.
Of course, the substantial Cheon Il Guk already started in 2013, but (we don’t yet have) a substantial nation. We received the Blessing on the church level. It is not yet on the national and worldwide level. When we receive the worldwide-level Blessing, all humankind will be restored. Then everybody can receive the worldwide-level blessing.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: The Fall - 5.
The Identity of the Serpent
• In the Bible we read that a serpent tempted Eve to commit sin (Gen. 3:4-5)
1.This serpent was able to converse with people.
2. It caused the Fall of humans, who are spiritual beings.
3. Furthermore, the serpent knew the Will of God, which strictly forbade human beings to eat the fruit.
4. As it is written in Revelation 12:9, "The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, he was thrown down to the earth," the serpent had lived in heaven.
5. Also, it is able to transcend time and space to dominate the human soul.
• This is compelling evidence that the being which the serpent symbolizes was a spiritual being.
• This spiritual being was originally created with a good purpose, but later fell and became Satan.
• There are no beings endowed with such characteristics other than angels. Therefore, the serpent which tempted human beings and sinned is an angel.
• Also, in Il Pet. 2:4, it is written "God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom."
Let’s study Father’s word.
A Reason why God Can’t Love the Fallen People
<53-332> Both John the Baptist and Jesus called the Jews and Pharisees “You brood of vipers” exposing that they are the sons of the Serpent(snake). In other words, they are the sons of the ancient Serpent, the Devil the Satan. This means that for humankind the only way to be absolutely connected to God was taken by Satan. When seeing Romans Chapter 8, ‘And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption’. This means that no matter how he or she believes well in God, the person just remains as an adopted child. An adopted child means he or she has a different blood lineage. The blood lineage has become different. As they are this kind of people, God cannot love them.
If you believe in any (other) religion, you cannot become God’s direct child. Even though you are Christian and believe in Jesus, you can become (only a) maximum God’s adopted son or daughter. You cannot become a son or daughter of God, a real child. Why? Jesus was supposed to meet his bride and marry. Without marriage how can one have an experience of rebirth? Humankind needs to have a rebirth experience. Without the messiah, without True Parents how can they have an experience of rebirth? It is impossible. That is why True Parents came as the messiah, as True Parents. They need to go through all eight stages of the indemnity course – vertically from servant of servant level to servant to adopted son to step son to real son to mother to father to God, eight stages, and horizontally from individual to family to race to nation to world to cosmos to God.
The Course of 8 stages
The ancestors of humankind fell with the archangel, who was in the position of a servant, which caused man to fall to the position of servant of servants. However, through the spiritual salvation of Jesus, humans have reached the stage of adopted son.
True Parents came to this earth in the Completed Testament age and gave the blessing and the victorious proclamation of the 8 stages of restoration through indemnity. Through this, we humans go through the eight vertical stages of servant of servant, servant, adopted son, stepson, real son, mother, father, and God. We also go through the eight horizontal stages of individual, family, tribe, race, nation, world, cosmos, and God.
How amazing it is that our generation has gone straight from the servant of servant level to the level of God through True Parents.
We can reach God because True Parents have already paid the indemnity.
As an external condition, we can already reach the completion stage, right? (It is) more than step son or adopted son, right? But in terms of spiritual level, has my spiritual level really broken through the servant-of-servant level? The servant level? The adopted son level? The step-son level? Have I really become God’s filial son or daughter? Can I already pass the level of the mother? Can I pass the level of the Father? Can I reach Heavenly God? We still have far to go. Even though conditionally my body has already entered the completion stage, in terms of my spiritual level, (I am) not yet (there). That is why we need to really work harder.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: If Your Relationship with God is Thorough, You Have a Foreboding
1. Father knows all about the heavy burdens in people’s hearts. Even if he deals with a certain person for the first time, there are people who become upset. We do not know such things, but Father already knows immediately after seeing them for the first time. If people’s relationship with God is thorough, their hearts become sensitive. That is a strange thing. If we have a relationship with God and have strong interests, we will have a foreboding. This is something anyone can do. People who have a clear sense of purpose and place importance in relationships can predict future events. When Japan captured and ruled over Korea, people who had concerns over the nation were told beforehand that Korea would be liberated someday. Also, one pastor was worried about the corruption of Korean churches, so God told him about the path that lied ahead. If you have a relationship with God and worry about the church, God will tell you things about the church, and if you worry for the nation, He will tell you things about the nation.
If you read the New Testament, Jesus saw through the heart of any person with absolute spiritual authority as the Son of God. True Father also knew all about the heavy burdens in people's hearts.
Recently I completed reading the New Testament one more time. I realized that Jesus spoke with absolute spiritual authority as the son of God. He did not compromise. He said (repeatedly), “I am telling you the truth.” He knew what will happen. He had absolute conviction. There was no gap between God and Jesus. He had confidence that “I am the son of God.” He had absolute spiritual authority.
When I research and study and see Father (close up?), he is the same as Jesus. He treats himself as God.
True Father already knows a person as soon as he sees him. Not only that, but he accurately sees the history of that person's ancestors. Then, how can we get to know people as well as Jesus and True Parents do and become spiritually sensitive?
Our heart becomes sensitive when we have a thorough relationship with God. If you love God, you will be spiritually sensitive, discern good and evil, and have a foreboding because you treat everything with love for God.
When I look at a person with the heart of loving God, that person's heart comes into me clearly. That is a really amazing thing.
When you truly love someone, you can read his mind, you can see what (will) happen to that guy through dreams. The power of love is really amazing!
If you have a relationship with God and have strong interest in everything, you will have a foreboding. This is something anyone can do with effort. It is not just specific to people who can do it. A person who has a clear sense of purpose and values relationships can foresee what is ahead.
If you have a thorough relationship with God and worry about the church, God will tell you things about the church, and if you worry for the nation, He will tell you things about the nation.
The bottom line is that if your relationship with God is thorough and you love Him, you will be able to distinguish between good and evil and have a foreboding in everything.
Why can’t you distinguish good and evil? Because you do not love God. Your spiritual alignment is not clear; you don’t know what your vision is; you don’t know what will happen tomorrow; you don’t know what to do. (You) struggle and wander here and there. What is the main problem? You (have an) alignment problem.
If your alignment is very clear with God, if you love him, you become spiritually very sensitive and you know how to distinguish between good and evil, you know what will happen tomorrow, God will show you (things) through dreams, you will know (things) through your spiritual senses, you can have (premonitions) in everything. This is the power of love.
Sometimes when I can (perceive) something like that, someone will say, “Oh, Dr. Yong, you are very spiritual.” That is not spiritual. When Father sees (everything about) someone, (one might say), “Father is very spiritual.” He is not spiritual.
Father’s power is that of love. When we truly love God, we becomes spiritually so sensitive. We can see what will happen with our wife, our husband, our children, our nation, our church, our world. This is the power of love.
To Have a Foreboding, You Need to Make a Determination
2. To have a foreboding, you need to make a determination. And you must have a clear sense of purpose. A grandmother who worries about the family knows about things that will happen when the children of the house go out. “Be careful today. I had a strange dream last night.” This is how one elderly had a dream the night before and worried about the children. But those children went out and had an accident. They came home with bandages on their arms just as she had seen in her dream. Since that grandmother had a strong attachment for the children, she had a foreboding. In order to have a foreboding, you cannot be double-minded. Your sense of purpose must be established very properly. Just as the strings of a violin must be tight to make a sound even when the wind blows for a moment, life is clear when the view of purpose is strong. This is possible for anyone if they make a determination and offer sincere devotion. All people have such an attribute.
Since human beings are fallen descendants, their original nature is not well developed. We live without knowing what will happen in the near future. As a result, we do not properly prepare for the future, and sometimes have a sudden accident or regrets.
So, how can humans have a foreboding? First, we must cultivate spiritual sensitivity through a heart of prayer and jeongseong.
When you do prayer and jeongsong, your spirituality becomes very sensitive.
You should always live with a heart of waiting for commands from heaven.
Second, in order to have a sense of foreknowledge, one must determine to become completely one with God. Third, we need a sense of ownership and a mind that cares about the whole more than anyone else. Fourth, no matter who you deal with and what they do, you must treat them with love.
“I cannot understand my wife!” “I cannot understand what’s going on with my husband!” “I cannot understand my children.” Then you do not have sensitivity; you do not have vertical alignment with God; you do not truly love God. If you truly love God, automatically you can love your husband, your wife, your children. You can (perceive) what is going on. You can read their minds.
In order to have a foreboding, you cannot be double-minded. Your sense of purpose must be established very properly. Your spiritual antenna must be pulled out long. It should be as tight as a violin string. Just as the strings of a violin must be tight to make a sound even when the wind blows it for a moment, life is clear when the view of purpose is strong.
This is possible for anyone if they make a determination and offer sincere devotion. All people have such attributes.
The Condition for God to Guide Me
3. If anyone has a close-knit relationship with God and holds onto it, and they have attachment and a sense of purpose to be considered right in any situation, Heaven will guide that person well. However, people who are easily controlled by circumstances are like the tension in each other's strings. It's like a violin that doesn't make a sound when the strings are stretched out. We can't do anything if we are greedy for this and that in our lives, and we are constantly being invaded by the environment, being subject to it, and worrying about whether this will happen or not. Righteous people are people who have denied themselves even in circumstances where they cannot help but be capricious. Self-affirming people are people who ignore their relationship with the subject. The next thing you have to know is who I live for. In short, Father said that since people are beings that live for each other, we should live for the sake of others.
If anyone has a close-knit relationship with God and holds onto it, and they have attachment and a sense of purpose to be considered right in any situation, Heaven will guide that person well.
However, people who are easily controlled by circumstances are like the tension in each other's strings that stretches horizontally, and their inspiration becomes dull. Our vertical sensitivity will disappear if we are greedy, and we are constantly being invaded by the environment, being subject to it, and worrying about whether this will happen or not.
Self-affirming people are those who ignore their relationship with God and their relationship with the subject. Therefore, you need to know who you live for and who you should receive approval from.
Everyone is made to live in four-position foundation relationships. I need to know who I am in the relationship between vertical and horizontal, left and right. In that relationship, I must thoroughly live for the sake of others.
Who Am I?
4. People are not meant to live for the sake of themselves. We all know this, don’t we? I need to know that I am not my own. I must know for sure that I was brought into existence. I am the one who cannot do as I please. Bible says, “Do you know how many hairs you have? Can you make your hair white and black? Do you know that birds in the air can fly on their own accord? Do you know that the lilies that bloom in the field bloom by chance? Do you know how to make birds fall and fly and make flowers bloom beautifully? There is the source of all life.” In this way, the words of the Bible make us aware that this present world is the world that is the source of life. People only need to know this well, but they think that they are their own, and then they make mistakes. The biggest mistake is self-affirmation.
People are not meant to live for the sake of themselves. I must know for sure that I have to live for the One who brought me into existence.
Therefore the Bible says, “Do you know how many hairs you have? Can you make your hair white and black? Do you know that birds in the air can fly on their own accord?
“Do you know that the lilies that bloom in the field bloom by chance? Do you know how to make birds fall and fly and make flowers bloom beautifully?” Therefore, I must live according to the will of the one who brought me into existence, that is, the origin of life.
The words of the Bible make us aware that this world of phenomena is a world that comes from the source of life. We should live according to the blueprint of the cause, but there are always problems because we try to live as we please.
People only need to know this well, but they think that they are their own, and then they make mistakes. The biggest mistake is self-affirmation. It's about doing everything your own way.
Therefore, we must always know Heaven’s intention, will, and plan, his blueprint. What is his blueprint for me? I need to adjust according to his blueprint, not my own blueprint.
You have to repeatedly ask Heaven. Is it this? Or is it that? You (should) always (be) asking. Asking Heaven through prayer and jeongseong should become a habit.
“Heavenly Father, is it this? Or is it that? Is this way right? Or wrong?” Always you need to ask. I need to follow his blueprint (because) I am not a causal being but a resultant being.
Today I talked about “If Your Relationship with God is Thorough, You Have a Foreboding.”

(Response to sharing) If you know the meaning of the Blessing, (you have) no choice. You need to multiply. This is very powerful! Father said, “(No matter) how much I explain it to you, you do not know the real meaning of the Blessing. When you die, you will get to know the meaning of the Blessing. Wow! How powerful it is!♦
